Chapter 178: Moving Rescue Soldiers

Fang Zheng never thought about making meritorious deeds. He threw away some unrealistic national justice and said nothing about being loyal to the emperor and the country. The ultimate goal of making meritorious deeds is to be promoted. Fang Zheng was even more interested in this. He is now a count, and he still has a fifth-rank idle position. His family has a wealthy property waiting for him to inherit. He felt that he would not need to pursue anything in his life. He steadily married a few wives, with the halo of the emperor's son-in-law, guarded the family's property, lived casually for decades, and finally died on the woman's belly.

It cannot be said that his idea is wrong. After all, not everyone has the ambition to swallow the world. Fang Zheng was just an ordinary college student in his previous life. When he traveled to ancient times, his days of having officials, titles and wealth had already made him very satisfied. The idea of ​​a small wealthy person still dominated his heart.

The capital outside the Fang Mansion has been occupied by rebels. Now the emperor wants him to make contributions. He can tell that it is definitely a very dangerous thing to make contributions at this time. It is polite to say that it is a life-threatening life. It is simply a life-threatening life without death. Fang Zheng has always gone as far as dangerous things.

Fang Zheng looked at the emperor with horror and said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty... Weichen felt a little uncomfortable. He probably had drunk too much wine at night. I want to go back and lie down for a while. Let's talk to other ministers, Weichen will leave..."

"Changping, come here quickly and help your brother go back to your room to rest. Brother, I will tell you a story. What? Zhao Zilong, Changbanpo, seven in and seven out to save A Dou? No, no, that story is too nonsense. I will tell you the story of Zhuge Liang being beaten to pieces when he went out of Qishan six times..."

Fang Zheng and Changping walked towards the backyard in a silence. Because the Fang Mansion was too big, it was impossible for the three or four thousand imperial guards who followed the emperor to defend them. So the generals of the imperial guard decisively reduced their defense and narrowed the scope of defense to the small part of the Fang Mansion's gate to the backyard. Everyone in the Fang Mansion concentrated here, and other places gave up.

"Fang Zheng, if you escape at this time, the rebels will sooner or later attack. Today, the people in your house, including your parents and wives, will end up with different bodies and heads. You have to think clearly!" The emperor's stern voice came from behind Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng glanced at the corner of his mouth and almost cried.

Unwilling to turn around and face the emperor, Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Master, what do you want to do?"

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng and Changping holding hands tightly together, and a little warmth flashed in his eyes. The emperor smiled and said, "I want you to go and rescue soldiers!"

Fang Zheng's legs became weak when he heard this, but Changping supported him from the side.

Fang Zheng looked at Changping and said in a crying voice: "Mi'er, did you hear it? Your father is going to kill me..."

With a strong enemy around, it was too embarrassing to expect Fang Zheng, a man who couldn't even ride a horse, to rush out of the city to bring reinforcements.

Changping had already regarded himself as the young lady of the Fang family, so of course he had to help his husband speak. He was dissatisfied with the words and snorted at the emperor, saying softly: "Father, it is certainly necessary to bring reinforcements, but my husband doesn't have to go there in person, right? There are so many ministers here, and thousands of imperial guards. Who can you send to? You have to let my husband go."

Fang Zheng was so moved that he burst into tears, and he kept nodding and echoing: "That's right! We haven't had a bridal chamber yet. When we go out, we are shot into a hedgehog. Are you a widow? Is it wrong for you to be wronged?"

Changping blushed and stomped his feet and said angrily: "Shut up! It's time, and he's still thinking about the bridal chamber!"

Fang Zheng begged: "Your Majesty, many people are suitable for retaliation. Why do you have to choose me? If you really can't find anyone, I would like to recommend a few for you? The killer brother around me is quite suitable, but he loves money too much and offers too high prices. But don't worry, I will give the money. For the sake of the country and the emperor, I have invited the killer brother's errands to run!"

The emperor smiled and shook his head, "You can only do this matter, no one else can do it."

"Why?" Fang Zheng said inexplicably. Could it be that I have a face that is a reinforcement, similar to cannon fodder characters such as suckers and scapegoats?

"Because I want you to invite it is Feng Qiudao's Longwu Army." The emperor said with a stern face.

"Feng Qiudao... Emperor, even if you want to invite Feng Qiudao's army, you may not have to ask me to go." Fang Zheng said with a bitter face.

The emperor said worriedly: "The city was attacked by rebels, but the Longwu Army and Shence Army stationed sixty miles away were not moving at all. I am worried..."

"Your Majesty, I promised that Feng Qiudaoduo will not betray you!" Fang Zheng quickly said with a serious expression on his face when the loyalty of his friend involved.

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "I also hope that Feng Qiudao will not surrender to the enemy. Feng Qiudao is a loyal and kind person, and led his army deep into the Turkic grasslands and made great contributions. He has been serving as a general of the Longwu Army for only half a year. He should not be bribed so soon..."

Fang Zheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. No matter how long he is the general, he will not be bribed."

If Feng Qiudao, a man who is open and honest and bloody, would be sworn by Pan Shangshu and he would not believe it if he was beaten to death.

"Hmph! The chaos in the city is so turmoil. If he really has the will of loyalty to the king and the king, why hasn't he been sending troops to rescue him?" Ruobingshuang, the emperor, snorted coldly.

"Maybe he has delayed something, such as eating something bad and having diarrhea or something..."

In order to prove Feng Qiudao's innocence, Fang Zheng thought seriously and said, "Feng Qiudao failed to come to rescue the king. There may be many reasons. One is that he is afraid of the emperor and is worried that the emperor has fallen into the hands of the rebels, so he dare not act rashly. Second, Feng Qiudao has only been taking over the Longwu Army for half a year. If some generals of the Longwu Army have been bribed by Pan Shangshu, he wants to lead the army to rescue the Jia, and he may not be able to command his soldiers, not to mention that it is related to rebellion. If the soldiers under him do not have enough trust in him, they will definitely not dare to follow him into the city..."

Simply put, Feng Qiudao's current situation may not be very good.

The emperor smiled: "I saw you silly every day, and I thought you had been so confused in your life. I didn't expect you to be stupid and could see the situation clearly..."

Fang Zheng was unhappy. Is this praising me or damaging me?

"My guess is the same as you, so I plan to send you out of the city, take my own special order, order Feng Qiudao to rectify the army, and then lead the army into the city to serve the king and defeat the rebels."

Well, I've gone back to the old topic.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to let me go? Isn't it the same for anyone you send? As long as it is someone you trust, that's fine? For example, Eunuch Cao, come quickly, the emperor has a fat man, and the subordinate has given it to you... Alas, why are you hiding... greedy for life and fear death!"

The emperor's face darkened, "Enough! Stop making trouble! Time is urgent, you can only handle this matter. I know that Feng Qiudao has a close relationship with you. At this critical moment, only if you stick to my own special order to dispatch troops will he believe that if you send someone else, he may think that I issued an order under the coercion of the rebels."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside the gate of the West Palace of the Imperial Palace.

Pan Shangshu's face was as deep as water, staring at the tightly closed palace gate.

The defenders who resisted in the city have almost been wiped out. The capital was subjected to a catastrophe that the Huachao had not experienced for more than a hundred years. Fires were everywhere in the city, and the people fled in fear, killing, shouting, and crying, and tragedy, and there were ruins everywhere and corpses everywhere. The rebels under Zhao Hu's command had strictly controlled all the streets and yamen in the city. Those who dared to resist, regardless of soldiers or civilians, were all slaughtered. Countless defenders and civilians had died under the sword. Since there were not many defenders in the city, the rebels attacked fiercely and quickly rushed to the west gate of the palace.

"Sir, will you order an attack?" Zhao Hu walked forward and asked respectfully. He knew that the palace in front of him, with the most concentrated power, fame and fortune in the world, had always been something the elders were extremely eager to get.

Since the mansion was besieged by the imperial guards, Pan Shangshu knew that the situation had come to an end. After he decided to send troops, he opened the secret passage in the study and ordered the whole family to leave the city through the secret passage. After meeting with Zhao Hu's rebels, he issued an order to attack the capital.

The secret passage was repaired ten years ago. He originally thought that under the emperor's favor, he would not use it for a day, but he did not expect that he would use it today.

As usual, the palace looks majestic and solemn, and the golden roofs of the palace symbolize how noble and luxurious the people who entered the palace are. They combine all the power and wealth in the world. They kowtowed all their lives and looked at the faces of others for a lifetime, and finally waited for today. As long as the army attacks, everything inside will be his, including the dazzling golden dragon throne on the Golden Palace.

After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the excitement in his heart. The more this time, the less proud he was. Pan Shangshu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why are there no movements in the other four armies who made an appointment to start the matter? Could it be that something has changed?" This matter was too strange, and Pan Shangshu felt something was wrong.

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the disciple has sent a spy to inquire."

Pan Shangshu's expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight panic in his eyes and murmured: "I hope there will be no changes..."

Zhao Hu asked softly, "Sir, are you ordering an attack?" The palace was right in front of him, and he was within easy reach. After entering the palace, the matter was half successful.

But what Pan Shangshu was thinking about was another thing: "He is in Fang Zheng's mansion? Are you sure?"

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "I'm sure. Today is the day when Fang Zheng and Princess Changping are happy. How could he not go?"

Pan Shangjiu's astronomy has been killed.——Zhao Hu, how many troops are left in his hand?"

Zhao Humo calculated and said, "After attacking the capital, he fought with the defenders, and suffered heavy casualties. Now there are less than 30,000 soldiers who can fight."

Pan Shangshu frowned: "If the other four armies cannot come in time and wait for the Shence Army and Longwu Army outside the city to counterattack, the 30,000 people in their hands will probably not be able to support them for a long time. I wonder why the four armies did not raise the matter according to the agreement. Before the troops outside the city to counterattack, I must capture the emperor alive so that I can be invincible."

"Divid 10,000 troops and horses, attack the palace, and then divide 10,000 to strictly control the key areas in the city. The rest, follow me to the Fang Mansion. It's time to face him."

"yes."

Ignoring the screams of the people or defenders before their deaths coming from his ears, Pan Shangshu stepped on the blood-stained land under his feet without expression, and walked towards the Fang Mansion step by step.

"Crack!"

A dazzling lightning flashed through the sky under the night sky and illuminated the earth. In the lightning and fire, a series of tragic corpses with death fell on the ground, clear and dazzling, just like hell on earth.

"A general's success has left thousands of bones, they deserve to die." Pan Shangshuji walked past these corpses without squinting, and said silently to himself in his heart.

Behind him, the sound of the trumpet of the army gathering came. The soldiers wearing iron armor and iron helmets lined up in an orderly manner, holding up the steel knives in their hands, and like a group of hungry wolves released from the cage, following Pan Shangshu and heading straight for Fang Mansion.

At the same time, the trumpet of attacking the palace was also sounded.

------------------------------

Inside the Fang Mansion.

At the beginning of war, the guests and ministers who came to congratulate Fang Zheng and Changping's wedding were still gathered in panic in the yard outside the front hall, each of whom surrendered or fought hard. The imperial soldiers did not panic. Under the command of the officers, the trees planted in the Fang Mansion were cut down and piled up in front of the gate, and simple fortifications were temporarily built.

Fang Zheng is still trying to convince the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have no ability to rush out of the city..."

"It's okay, I'll allocate 300 imperial guards to you. You can go to the North City Gate and kill a bloody road in a short time." The emperor calculated very accurately and even thought about the route for him.

"Emperor, if Weichen goes, what should I do if my family is old or young?" Fang Zheng turned around and looked at Mr. Fang, as well as Changping, Yanran, Feng Jie, Xiao Lu... They all need their own protection, how can I leave at this moment?

"I will protect them." The emperor said lightly: "Even if you stay here, do you have the ability to protect them? If the rebels come in, your parents, wife, including you, will not escape death."

"That may not be... everyone escaped from the city together, wouldn't it be fine?" Fang Zheng said with a lucky heart.

"Escape? How to escape?" the emperor said with a smile.

Fang Zheng turned his head and said to the other master with anticipation, "Dad, do we have a secret passage in our house? The one that leads directly to the outside of the city."

Mr. Fang rolled his eyes and said, "No."

Fang Zheng said sadly and angrily: "How can we not have it? There are all things in the Pan Shangshu family..."

Mr. Fang said angrily: "I am a righteous person and never do anything wrong. Why do you need to practice the secret path?"

Look, the ancients were so rigid.

Just as I continued to play tricks with the emperor, there were suddenly neat footsteps and horse hooves outside the door, beating on everyone's hearts, with a faint bloody murderous aura, like the summoning of the god of death, sending an invitation from hell to everyone...

Outside the gate of Fang Mansion, the first cavalry that appeared went straight through the gate of Fang Mansion without stopping. Then a large group of troops rushed over and surrounded Fang Mansion silently and orderly. In the square outside the gate, more than 5,000 rebels held steel swords and spears in their hands, and their eyes were coldly staring at the pair of big red lanterns hanging high at the door.

Everyone in the mansion changed color, and the rebels finally arrived.

The emperor's eyes were filled with evil eyes, his face was gloomy and terrifying. He stared at the closed door and said nothing for a long time.

"The old minister will meet the emperor and welcome the emperor back to the palace." Pan Shangshu's voice came from outside the door from afar.

Fang Zheng was furious when he heard this, Damn it! Old man, my happy days are all disturbed by you, the old bastard!

The emperor sighed and said in a deep voice through the heavy gate: "Old Secretary, I didn't expect you to take this step."

Pan Shangshu's voice did not fluctuate at all, and he was as respectful as ever: "The old minister died! Please forgive me for your sins!"

"Why? Old Shangshu, why? Have I treated you badly over the years?"

In the past, the atmosphere of the king and ministers being in harmony and being in water was already replaced by the atmosphere of tense war between the two sides.

One is inside the door and the other is outside the door, a pair of old men who have been with each other for decades, through the thick door panel, tells the resentment and contradictions of years in a plain tone.

"It is time and momentum. Emperor, I promise that in recent years, you have been surrounded by too many villains, so that state affairs are abandoned, government affairs are chaotic, people are displaced, and rebellions are frequent in various places. The emperor, the old minister has nothing to ask for. He only wants to lead his army to clear the side of the emperor and give the people of the world a bright world! In this way, even if the old minister is cut into pieces by the emperor, he will not be willing to die!"

Shangshu Pan said something righteous and he led the troops to cause chaos, as if he had no selfishness.

"You fart! Pan Wenyuan, you are a damn god! He was disturbed by my marriage, and he was sanctioned in rebellion. If he wanted to be the emperor, he would just say, don't always use the people or villains as a guise. Do you think everyone in the world is blind? Bah! Everyone can kill him!" Fang Zheng jumped up and cursed fiercely.

Anyway, everyone can't live anymore, so it's better to scold them. The new resentment and old resentment were awesome, and Fang Zheng scolded them happily.

"Stop!" The emperor whispered: "Would you like to talk too much at this time? Hurry up! I will send you three hundred imperial guards to you, and rush out to find Feng Qiudao to dispatch troops. The safety of me and your family depends entirely on you!"

Fang Zheng stubbornly said, "No! Weichen doesn't go anywhere, who! Find me a knife! I'm going to rush out and fight this old bastard named Pan! Let this old bastard know that I'm a loyal minister, not a villain!"

Obviously, the "villain" mentioned by Pan Shangshu angered Master Fang, who considered himself a loyal minister.

Everyone in the Fang Mansion knew Fang Zheng's temperament well. Seeing that he had a rare iron blood at this moment, they opened their eyes wide in surprise.

You know, among so many people trapped in the mansion, although Fang Zheng is not the most incompetent person, he is definitely the one who fears death the most. Now this person who fears death the most has such a fierce and brave side, which really makes people respect it.

"Fang Zheng, stop making trouble!"

"No! I'm going out to fight him!" Fang Zheng was as stubborn as a willful child.

The emperor said angrily: "You... that's good! Come on, give him a knife and let him go out and fight to the death."

Fang Zheng took the steel knife, weighed it in his hand, his face full of coldness and violent expression, and then his face suddenly changed, and he smiled flatteringly at the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't take it seriously. I just said it casually, just to show that I am a loyal minister who is not afraid of death. If you are trying such a dangerous thing, it's better to leave it to your soldiers..."

After saying that, he carefully handed the steel knife in his hand to the imperial guards beside him, and kept muttering: "Oh, be careful, don't cut me, take it, stay away from me... Oh, this weapon is really terrible..."

Everyone: "…………”
